I was assaulted last December by being thrown face first to ground. Every piece of my nose and septum was broken. It was reconstructed but I am unhappy with results. Should I go with same doctor since he got my nose close after all the trauma? Should I look for another doctor? The following pictures are: current nose, photoshop envisioned results, and nose before. Is it possible to get close to my previous nose? What should I ask for specifically to achieve these results in consultation?
Answer: YES- I Recommend Rhinoplasty | Facial Plastic Surgery | Nose Job Expert | Deviated Crooked | Old Trauma Fracture | Rib | BH LA Hello and thank you for your question and the picture. For starters, I'm so sorry to hear about what you went through, that's absolutely awful! Addressing a crooked or asymmetric nose (especially if you have a history of nasal trauma) is actually one of the more common reasons people seek out and undergo a rhinoplasty. An open septorhinoplasty can best address both your aesthetic concerns and any functional issues with your nose. I would be able to address your septum, improve your breathing, straighten your nose, and also adjust the size, shape, and definition of your nose!

Answer: Perhaps all you need are osteotomies. Based on the current configuration of your nose and what you were looking to achieve, I believe you are looking for a straighter and narrower nasal bridge appearance. Sometimes that can be achieved just by repeating osteotomies to straighten somebody's nose. You could certainly get an opinion from the previous surgeon, and getting a second opinion from another reputable rhinoplasty specialist is never a bad idea. Thank you for this question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: A straighter nose Hello from Istanbul. I'm truly sorry to hear about the trauma you experienced. Regarding your nose, contouring the sides of the nasal bones with bone shaving and osteotomies can help in achieving a straighter appearance. Considering it has been a year since your first surgery, you might now consider undergoing a revision procedure. Best of luck to you.

Answer: The changes you simulated are possible. More ... You narrowed the bridge some (makes sense that it would look wider after the fracture), and you also narrowed the tip. Narrowing the tip is working on the two cartilages that form the tip of the nose, and they probably weren't damaged in the trauma, because you just about need a huge laceration into the tip to make that kind of damage happen. But that tip narrowing should be possible, too. The operation, to the surgeon, would look like part reconstruction (getting the previously-fractured bones in the upper bridge in better position) and part regular rhinoplasty (because the work on the tip would look to the surgeon like the findings and procedures in a regular cosmetic rhinoplasty). So you select your surgeon as if you were never injured, but are looking for an excellent rhinoplasty surgeon.
